Frozen (Blu-ray)

March 30, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad
Director: Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee
Running Time: 102 mins
Certificate: U
Release Date: March 31st 2014

Over the weekend thanks to a continued strong performance in Japan, Frozen became the number one animated movie of all time at the global box office, overtaking Toy Story 3. It now stands at number 10 on the all-time list and will end up with over $1.1 billion.

It’s not bad for a movie that six months ago had relatively little buzz. The film came as a surprise to many, as evidenced by how its box office worked. It got a pretty good but not spectacular opening (it wasn’t even the number 1 film in the US on the weekend it got its wide release), but then continued to play in cinemas for months, due the fact it had such amazing word of mouth.

Disney’s Frozen Character Posters Debut – Meet Elsa & Anna

February 4, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

frozen character poster1 thumbLater this year Disney will be hoping to match the success of Tangled with Frozen, a new take on the classic tale The Snow Queen (a story the studio has been thinking about animating for decades). Now two new character posters from the film have debuted over at Cine1, giving us our first proper look at lead characters Elsa and Anna.

Here is the synopsis: ‘When a prophecy traps a kingdom in eternal winter, Anna, a fearless optimist, teams up with extreme mountain man Kristoff and his sidekick reindeer Sven on an epic journey to find Anna’s sister Elsa, the Snow Queen, and put an end to her icy spell. Encountering mystical trolls, a funny snowman named Olaf, Everest-like extremes and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom from destruction.’

Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Josh Gad and Jonathan Groff lead the voice cast. The movie is due out in the US this November, and will probably reach the UK the following February.

Chilly Look At Disney’s Frozen With Some New Concept Art

December 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Frozen-concept-art-pic1
After many years in development, Disney’s Snow Queen tale, Frozen, is finally due to arrive in cinemas December 2013, and to prepare us, the studio has released some rather cool looking concept art, which you can see above (click on it for a larger version), and a few more story details.

Here is the synopsis: ‘When a prophecy traps a kingdom in eternal winter, Anna, a fearless optimist, teams up with extreme mountain man Kristoff and his sidekick reindeer Sven on an epic journey to find Anna’s sister Elsa, the Snow Queen, and put an end to her icy spell. Encountering mystical trolls, a funny snowman named Olaf, Everest-like extremes and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom from destruction.’

Co-directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck have been talking about the image in an interview with EW, saying “We wanted to push it to the extreme. The unnatural quality of the ice emphasises this is not, you know, sky-made ice, but ice made by someone.”

The person controlling the wind and ice is Elsa, and to further the idea it’s ice that was made by a person, the film will have a subtle snowflake pattern embedded in the backgrounds. ”You’ll see that shape throughout,” Buck says. “It’s very subtle, but that’s basically [evidence of] Elsa’s magic. That’s her signature.”

As for heroine Anna, Lee says, “Anna is a very relatable character to those of us who are not superheroes. She’s wonderfully flawed, but fearless. And wants to do the right thing. Those are the characters I love.” She adds, “From the Kristoff angle, we were trying to get at what it’s like to be a guy, trying to understand women – basically.”

November 30, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Lee also contributed to the film’s screenplay.

Featuring the voices of Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel, in Frozen a prophecy traps a kingdom in eternal winter. Anna, a fearless optimist, teams up with extreme mountain man Kristoff and his sidekick reindeer Sven on an epic journey to find Anna’s sister Elsa, the Snow Queen, and put an end to her icy spell. Encountering mystical trolls, a funny snowman named Olaf, Everest-like extremes and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom from destruction.

Frozen producer Peter Del Vecho commented, “Jenn has a real connection to the film and creates dynamic and relatable characters. Her sense of comedy, adventure and story structure paired with Chris Buck’s vast experience and incredible instincts create an ideal situation for this film.”

Lee’s been busy as he screen adaptation of John Steinbeck’s The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights is being produced by Troika, and she has an original screenplay in development with Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way, while her original script Lucid Dreams was optioned by Wolfgang Petersen’s Radiant Productions.
